It's been a while since I looked at that Bitcoin Core feature, but I'm
pretty sure it only creates a .onion when it detects that Tor is
already running when Bitcoin Core boots.  So I think it's unlikely to
generate even close to as many new .onion hosts as we're seeing now.
A botnet seems more likely to me.  Of course, I have no actual data to
back up my guess.
